Acero - Champion Peruvian Paso

Sunday wrapped up the 22nd annual SD Horse Fair. In the afternoon, Acero's owner became ill. I stepped up to haul Acero to our place until his owner was well enough. Acero is going home Wednesday.

Acero is a 30 year old champion Peruvian Paso. Even at the age of 30, Acero still shows off his dignity and regal stance. When we were getting him settled Sunday night, I came around the corner and Acero was standing perfectly still at full attention looking like he owned the place.

It has been an absolute honor to care for Acero. The following are just a few pictures of Acero. The weatherman said we were going to get rain so I threw a canvas waterproof sheet on him. I'm glad we did. We had a downpour.
